Jikes is an open source, strictly Java compatible, high performance compiler written in C++ that manages to put out code that is considerably faster than javac (the Java to bytecode compiler built into Java). Note that Jikes compiles to Java bytecode rather than to machine language.

The original alphaWorks version of Jikes was written by Philippe Charles and Dave Shields of the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center.
